NRC lays down terms for Honeywell before Ill. uranium plant opening

(Reuters) - Honeywell International Inc said Tuesday it
could take nine to 12 months to upgrade the Metropolis Works
uranium conversion facility in Southern Illinois to ensure it could
withstand a strong earthquake or tornados.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued
a Confirmatory Order telling Honeywell what actions the company
must take before it can resume operations at Metropolis.
